Precipitating hardened stainless steels (PH Steels) are stainless steels with higher chromium and nickel alloying agents that are hardened through heat treating that adds a particle precipitate phase.

What is precipitation hardening steel?
Precipitation hardening, also known as particle hardening, strengthens malleable metals through heat treating at low temperatures that also improves corrosion resistance. Measurable resistances vary depending on the selected alloying elements, such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, or titanium.
PH stainless steels are commonly used in the oil and gas energy industries and high-tech aerospace materials.
PH stainless steels such as 17-4PH, obtain properties from martensitic precipitation that transforms from austenite to martensite structures as processing temperatures cool. Semi-austenitic steels such as 17-7PH are hardened with ageing and are not magnetic.
